Was John O'Keefe Murdered By His Girlfriend Karen Read Or Is She Being Framed?

On January 29, 2022, Boston Police Officer John O’Keefe went out for a night of drinking with his girlfriend Karen Read. After midnight, they decided to leave the bars and head to an after-party at a friend’s home.

What happened next is unclear. We know that both John and Karen were likely intoxicated. Karen eventually told police that she felt unwell so she dropped John off and headed home. She woke up at around 5am and realized that John had not returned home. She started retracing her steps and she went back to the house where the after-party was held. There she found John’s cold and lifeless body in the snow.

This case is very convoluted. Karen was charged with manslaughter following John’s death – her SUV had apparent damage to the back and it was insinuated that she hit him while driving intoxicated. In the past few weeks though, Karen’s attorneys have filed documents that indicate there may have been a cover up by John’s colleagues, other members of law enforcement. It is claimed that John was likely beaten to death at the after-party and that he may have been attacked by a dog on the premises. An attendee at the after-party also googled ‘how long to die in the cold’ at around 2.30am on the morning that John died.

In this episode of the True Crime Society Podcast, we discuss the death of John O’Keefe – was he killed by his girlfriend or is there a cover-up involving law enforcement?

Home is where the body is

Home is where the body is

When someone is reported missing, it's generally safe to assume they're not in their house. Surely, the police or the family would have checked there already.  Except sometimes, after the headlines, the search parties, and the emotional public pleas from family members - that's exactly where the person turns up. In this episode, we cover a handful of cases where this phenomenon happened and the theories surrounding them. Julie Snyder, Molly Meghan Miller, and Christopher Woitel were all found dead in their homes after being reported missing and searched for.  Don't want to listen to the intro?

Moms Who Murder

Moms Who Murder

A mother is meant to be the ultimate protector of their children.  Sometimes though, they are perpetrators of the ultimate betrayal. In this episode we speak about four cases where mothers have taken the lives of their children, before killing themselves.  What could drive a woman to the edge like this? 1 – Michele Boudreau Deegan drugged her twin 7 y/o daughters before shooting them and then herself in the head 2 – Cynthia Collier fired 34 rounds into her four adopted teenage children, before taking her own life 3 – Kimbra Shanafelt and her 5 y/o daughter were found dead in their home from carbon monoxide poisoning 4 – Tristen Watson was pregnant when she took her toddler son into the Rocky Mountains National Park.  She shot him and then herself, and her unborn baby also passed away.

The Lonely Death of Evelyn Boswell

The Lonely Death of Evelyn Boswell

15-month-old Evelyn Boswell was reported missing on February 19th, 2020 by her grandfather, but she hadn't actually been seen since December 2019. I'm sure you're wondering - how does a missing baby go unreported for 2 months? Her mother, 18-year-old Megan Boswell, tried to explain during an interview, "Well, the reason I didn’t report it or anything was I knew the person who had her and I didn’t want them to run away with her. In a way, I knew that as soon as anything went down this person was going to disappear and they have." A month later, Evelyn's remains were found in a shed on a family member's property with her toys, clothes, and diapers. With a family full of felons pointing fingers at each other, investigators had a long road ahead of them - but ultimately they were able to make an arrest.
